Answer

GORGE

This word has dual meanings: it can refer to a narrow ravine or canyon, often with a stream running through it, or it can be used as a verb meaning to eat excessively. The word comes from Old French, meaning throat, which connects both definitions as food passes through the throat and gorges resemble a throat in shape.

Strategy Tip

Today's word contains a repeated letter, which is a common pattern in Wordle. When you have confirmed some letters but the puzzle still feels tricky, consider whether one of your known letters might appear twice in the word.
